Difference Between Male & Female Bald Eaglesthumbnail A pair of bald eagles

Differentiating between male and female bald eagles can be a difficult undertaking because neither has any immediately obvious telltale gender markings. There are, however, multiple telling, albeit subtle, differences.

1.
Size
*

Female bald eagles are larger than their male counterparts by roughly a third in size. Females tend to have a body length of 35 to 37 inches, while males tend to be 30 to 34 inches long.
Talon Length
*

Both male and female eagles have four talons--three in front and one in back. The back-facing talon or hallux tends to be longer on female bald eagles.
Beak Depth
*

The width from the top of the beak to the eagle's chin is the depth of the beak. Female bald eagles generally have deeper beaks than male eagles.
Voice
*

The female bald eagle will often have a lower voice than her mate. Gender may be determined by comparing the pitch of two eagles.

The male bald eagle has a little tiny pee pee with little biddy balls under his feathers between his legs. If you don't believe me, have a look for yourself.
